^ "1927 Falcon-Knight 10 Sedan, Registration: BF 4796, Chassis: 11400 ... 6 cylinders, 2580cc. Estimate £15,000-20,000. The Falcon-Knight was produced 1927-28 by The Willys-Overland Company of Toledo, Ohio. The cars were well received with a remarkable reputation for all-around performance and the sales were notably high. The Falcon-Knight was intended to fit in pricewise between the Willys Whippet and larger Willys Knight ranges and was priced $1250, $100 less than the Willys Knight, with a 6-cylinder Knight sleeve valve engine. Except for the engine much of the car is actually the same as the Model 93A Whippet, with many parts being interchangeable. In January 1928, a new Model 12 was announced with mainly cosmetic changes. The last cars were made in March 1929 after which the plant made truck parts. Bought in 1927 from Ipswich, Queensland, Australia it was used until the owner went to war. However he did not return and the car spent its time in the widow`s shed until the late 1960s when it was bought by a man from Brisbane. It was showing just 28,000 miles on the clock and completely original with its factory tool kit and handbook still intact. It was then sold on for use as a wedding car, however this didn`t happen and it was sold to an engineer who intended to restore the Knight. It sat untouched, now showing 37,000 miles, for 25 years until 1996 when sold to a neighbour who embarked on a full restoration, completed in 2001. It was used regularly until being sold and shipped to the UK. Presented with the car is a spare engine and gearbox along with every part that was replaced during the restoration as well as an excellent history file and the original handbook, and it shows just 4,228 miles post-restoration." |

I can’t help feeling that 10.8 hp is incorrect for a six cylinder engine of 2580 cc. |
